Mermaids Saga-But when your tired of immortallity, what becomes of
you...Yuta, an immortal after partaking of the mermaid's flesh, travels
lonely through a world of mortals, finding bueaty and madness along the
way.
Pro-Welcome to creepy-ville, I personally think this is where Takahashi
dumps all the dark emotions brooding in her while writing comedy all
day. Never have I been so emotionally moved and horrified then with this
books.  She spends almost the entire time showing us the madness and the
repurcussions of the horror she only shows in spurts.  Humph, wish I
could say the same for most "horror" writers.And she says she does this
story as a hobby? Brrrrrrrr!
Con-If you can't take the heat, or more accurately, if you can't take
the woman ripping her face off so she can "put" on a new one, stay far
away.

Also, the stories of Mermaid Saga start repeating themselves pretty soon.
In every story the horror comes from the effects of the Mermaid's flesh
(in one way or other), every uses Mermaid's flesh-plot device. 
Good stories but too similiar.
